Sleight of Eye

In the year 2040, a theocratic president has been in the White House for almost ten years, information available on television and the internet is distorted, and abject poverty and lawlessness are spreading out from the heartland to the coastal states, which struggle to remain independent of federal control. But tough, deliberate men like former Secret Service agent Sam Wolf are still protecting the defenseless and doing justice.

While he is on a mission in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to protect a burial ground of his ancestors, Wolf is buried alive in a pit with his murdered best friend. With the aid of a Spirit Helper, Wolf digs his way out of the pit, vows to come back for his friend, and makes his way to his Ojibwe reservation. He soon learns that the man who killed his friend will be in the Sacramento River Delta the following week, so he fights his way across 2000 miles of violent America to catch him. After he finds the dying killer by a levee, Wolf discovers that the man was part of a covert network that not only killed his friend but also plotted the assassination of California's governor. But he's distracted from all that, because just up the levee road, Wolf sees a stunning woman who can work some serious bionic magic—and he is spellbound. When he can bear to part with her, he joins an unusual team of maverick FBI agents and Native Americans whose mission is to track down all the members of the network, uncover the operations they're running on American soil, and shut them down. But the team quickly realizes that the network is far more extensive than they could ever have imagined.
